So I'm completely new to the "fediverse" so does this mean now I've got a Lemmy account I can use that same account for Mastodon? I never really gave it a try as I wasn't a Twitter user

@BrokenToshy Yes and no. Your comment shows up to me like a toot and I'm replying to it with a toot, so in that sense, yes. I could even boost your comment to my followers like a toot. But the Lemmy software was designed around communities and groups, and it currently lacks the capacity to do certain one-on-one interaction the way a Mastodon user can. Since you can only use your account from your home instance, that does limit you a bit in how you can interact.
